We awoke one morning in the separate twin beds my mom has put in the far bedroom for guests -- and M laughed a little, and immediately launched into a dream she'd had where I was having numerous affairs unbeknownst to her, stretching back for a period of years, with many different women. (Originally the story had changed from "going out and getting hookers a lot" to simply "having lots of affairs".) When this was finally brought to light, M tracked down one of the women and asked what it was that I did during our trysting (apparently I liked it rough, although it was up in the air whether I was the dom or the sub) and when I ever got the time (at precisely 1-3PM each day, when in theory I was supposed to be at my hated job in the city I had back then). What also hurt was that I said and did things with these women that M thought I only did with her. But the kicker was her dream-thought: "So that's why he was fired -- he was never there to do any work!"

Of course, all of this doesn't really explain why I'd come home from "work" completely miserable, or how so many checks got direct-deposited in various accounts. These ladies are sneaky.

And I'm a damn criminal mastermind, capable of bending time and space to my nefarious will; I'd have to be... and I didn't even know it.
